Opponents of workplace diversity programs in the U.S. are increasingly banking on a section of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 to challenge equity policies as well as funding to minority-owned businesses.
Section 1981 prohibits racial discrimination in private employment against white people as well as people of color.
Lawsuits making their way through the courts have targeted prominent companies and a wide array of diversity initiatives, including fellowships, hiring goals, anti-bias training, and contract programs for minority or women-owned businesses.
